"The hero - or perhaps anti-hero - of these two classic, genre-bending mysteries is, as Sven Birkerts describes him, "a detective
at career's end ... no family, a domestic life no more furnished than Sam Spade's, with only gruff and grumbling ties to his
colleagues on the Bern police force." Both mysteries follow Inspector Barlach as he moves through worlds in which the distinction
between crime and justice has grown uncertain. In The Judge and His Hangman, Barlach forgoes the arrest of a murderer in order
to manipulate him into killing another, more elusive criminal. And in Suspicion, Barlach pursues a former Nazi doctor by checking
into his clinic with the hope of forcing him to reveal himself. These two thrillers by the great Swiss writer Friedrich Durrenmatt,
newly translated by Joel Agee, bring existential philosophy, and the detective genre into dazzling convergence."--BOOK JACKET

"A respected professor is dead – shot in a crowded Zurich restaurant, in front of dozens of witnesses. The murderer calmly
turned himself in to the police. So why has he now hired a lawyer to clear his name? And why has he chosen the drink-soaked,
disreputable Spät to defend him? As he investigates, Spät finds himself obsessed, drawn ever deeper into a case of baffling
complexity until he reaches a deadly conclusion: justice can be restored only by a crime. This is a captivating neo-noir classic
from the master of the genre. The Execution of Justice is a dark, wicked satire on the legal system and a disturbing, if ambivalent,
allegory on guilt, justice, violence and morality."--Publisher's description
